This is not about PCIe, we are talking about UART here. Specifically the
module is a combo Wi-Fi/BT device, with Wi-Fi over SDIO, and BT over
UART from NXP.

In any case, this DT is going to be used also by the boot firmware that will
configure the GPIO hog way before the Linux driver probes.

The DT files from the Linux kernel are used also by other projects.

There is none (as of now). This is there to make it easier for a user
that needs access to debug to adjust this node enabling the JTAG
functionality.
